The Toy Show opening was just a cut above this year

Stunning.

It's always the biggest part of the night but the opening number on this year's Late Late Toy Show was genuinely spectacular. We already knew that this year's show would have an 'Under The Sea' theme and it definitely didn't disappoint.

The kids, the music, the choreography, the costumes, Ryan Tubridy as a crab in a top hat and Converse - there was something for everyone. Needless to say Twitter went nuts for it, but one thing in particular stood out for viewers - THE PUNS.

11/10 for fishy puns ?#LateLateToyShow
